I've attempted to use BEAST v1.8.1 but am still running into parsing errors. The xml file was generated with Beauti v1.8.1 also.

SEVERE: Parsing error - poorly formed BEAST file, test_IStraits_230914_181.xml:

I have removed the sections of the xml file that relate to creating a tree and replaced it with an empirical tree model, as I have a .trees that I want to use rather than generating the tree with the traits. Not sure if that is causing issues with the count variable.
